That is great that you have the original window sticker! Keep it in good shape for when you resell the truck, if you ever do so.

One day my wife was complaining about my several Mazda B-trucks that I own. I sat down and figured up everything that I ever bought for the truck that I have currently owned the longest......including the purchase price, tires, oil changes, everything! It worked out to be like $5+ dollars a month!!

Then I compared it to her 2018 Ford Escape SEL........and what SHE has paid per month for that car (we have since traded it) and I didn't include the 5K that I put down, when we bought it.

She hasn't said anything about my vehicles since then!! LOL.

I only have one Mazda truck, but also 1998 and 2004 Frontiers, and my 1970 VW Beetle sedan and 1971 VW Beetle Convertible. Mrs. Cusser never complains because the costs of these are a drop in the bucket compared to what she spends on her 2 horses.....

I stopped estimating/tracking the cost for the horses a decade ago - now I never question it or bother with it....way better for my state of mind....and less than the cost of a good defense attorney !!!!

That same truck.....was lent to our Daughter to drive before she bought her own car....AND.....after she was rear ended in her car and the insurance totaled it. So our Daughter drove my 1991 Mazda B2600i 2WD Cab Plus truck for well over a year, as I had the extra vehicle for her to drive......I reminded the wife about that also!

What would it have cost her/US if that Mazda truck wasn't sitting there and available for our Daughter? She started to agree that my cheap extra vehicles are not costing very much at all really!

Lol. They are amazing little trucks. And, looking at the overall picture, cheap to own if you do the work yourself. Most of what I spent was paying someone else, though cheap, still added up fast.

Way to convince the wife. I did that to the wife last night. She said, that ain't bad. It just seems like it all hit in the last two years. I started updating things about two years ago. Brakes, shocks, brake booster, battery, starter then this ordeal. Still overall, cheap to own when you look at it like that.

Smart man.
No attorney needed, more money for your truck.
